I am stuck in a login loop and I think part of the problem may be that the HOME variable is being set to /usr/local/gradle which does not exist.

lab /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[9145]: 
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting HOME=/usr/local/gradle

This happens every time I restart my system and attempt to login.

What gdm3 script is doing this? Should I edit it to fix this particular issue?

THanks

  • Oddly similar but with `lightdm`: [Why is $HOME being set incorrectly](https://askubuntu.com/questions/908891/why-is-home-being-set-incorrectly) - I'm unsure why the accepted answer worked though – steeldriver Aug 12 '19 at 12:33

Tried export HOME=/home/levis But running $ env always showed HOME=/usr/local/gradle

So navigated to /etc and ran; $ sudo grep -rnw $PWD -e gradle

Which produced; /etc/profile.d/gradle.sh:1:export GRADLE HOME=/usr/local/gradle

I suppose they meant to write GRADLE_HOME

What a typo!
